[Transcript Below]


The first thing
to do is work on your curb appeal of your home.

You have probably decided by the time you come to the front door whether you’re going to purchase this home or not.

The curb appeal is so extremely important. Make sure you keep your grass green. There are no Christmas lights hanging down.  The front door’s very clean and pleasant looking.

The second thing is to start decluttering.

There’s going to be a lot of things that you want to get rid of anyway. You don’t want to take them to your new home go ahead and start decluttering.

The third thing is cleanliness. You have pets you want to make sure that you’re cleaning up after them every day. You want to make sure that there’s no odors in the home. That will turn buyers off right away.

So that’s the three big tips.

Most People Compare the Wrong Two Numbers 🤔⁣ ⁣ Mos Most People Compare the Wrong Two Numbers 🤔⁣
⁣
Most owners weighing "sell it or rent it out" start with two numbers: what the house would sell for, and what it would rent for.⁣
⁣
Those two numbers don't answer the question.⁣
⁣
What matters is what each path nets you over the years you'd actually hold it. On the sell side, that's the proceeds after commission, closing costs, and whatever it takes to get the deal done — and then what that equity goes on to do next. ⁣
⁣
On the rent side, it's the mortgage plus property taxes, insurance, a maintenance reserve, a vacancy allowance, and management fees if you won't be handling it yourself.⁣
⁣
And a rental pays you in three ways that arrive at different speeds: monthly cash flow, the principal your tenant is quietly paying down, and appreciation over time. ⁣
⁣
A house that barely breaks even each month can still be a strong hold. One that cash-flows can still be the wrong call if you need that equity for the next place.⁣
⁣
Run it with real local numbers for your specific house. Rent, taxes, and appreciation vary enough from one neighborhood to the next to flip the answer.⁣

5 Things That Change the Day You Become a Landlord 5 Things That Change the Day You Become a Landlord 

Keeping your old house and renting it out sounds simple. It's manageable — but five things change the day a tenant moves in, and every one of them is easier to handle before than after.

🏦 Your lender — most primary-residence mortgages require you to move in and live there for a set period first. Confirm where you stand before you plan around it.

🛡️ Your insurance — a standard homeowner's policy doesn't cover a home rented out long-term, and a landlord policy generally runs about 25% more.
📋 Your HOA — rental caps, minimum lease terms, and approval processes are the reason some owners can't take this path at all.

🔑 Your tenant — screening, a proper lease, security deposit rules, and your state's and city's landlord-tenant law. This is the part that goes wrong when it's rushed.

⏰ Your time — a few hours a month in a quiet stretch, and whole days when something breaks or someone moves out. The 2 a.m. water heater call is real.

Nothing on that list is a reason not to do it. All of it is a reason to do it on purpose.
